Please help
monitor of my X5 04' 3.0d doesnt have backlight, can't figure out how to turn the light on, but can still faintly see the monitor (tv, radio stations, etc) with help outside light source (overhead light). everythings working ok except that i have to turn on the overhead light at night to be able to see whats on the monitor. any advise greatly appreciated.

It should be automatically on.

You can adjust its brightness in settings. Sounds to me like your light is gone...

no idea if you could replace the light, or if you would have to get a new screen..?!
